trump for the gop presidential nomination? think about it. he s a former president, essentially a gop incumbent, who is consistently polling around 50% of the gop vote in the polls. and we learned in 2016 that give continue hard core support that trump enjoys from some, he s the beneficiary of a large field. remember, in that cycle there were so many running that debates, they had a kids table. this time trump announced first and then nikki haley, and then vivek ramaswamy, larry elder, asa hutchinson, tim scott, and now ron desantis, who, by the way, is only 44 years old. by biden/trump standards, he s got three more decades to run for president. so why run now? why get into the steel cage with a wrestler who always carries a foreign object? mike pence said he ll soon make a decision. chris christie sounds like a candidate. even glenn younk gkin is taking second look. what s going on? maybe they don t think they ll have to beat trump. that will be done by a combination of al
